The wavering of the inscriptional testimony (see Deissmann BS, p. 185) makes it impossible to decide between Ζμύρνα which is read by א vgam fu (harl) al. in Revelation 1:11 and the commoner Σμύρνα, but the fact that the reading Ζμύρνα is supported by Smyrnaean coins down to Trajan’s reign (Waddington, Voy. arch. 894) makes it difficult to reject the witness of א, on suspicion of ‘Western’ taint : see WH Notes.2, p. 155, Proleg. p. 45. For Ζμύρνα (–η) in the papyri see P Ryl II. 153.18 (A.D. 138–161) ὂ ̣ν ̣ κατέλιψα ἐν Ζμύρνῃ τῆς Ἀσίας, and for the same spelling of the common noun cf. PSI IV. 328.2 (B.C. 258–7) ζμύρνης τάλαντα ἑκατόν, P Tebt I. 35.16 (B.C. III) ζμύρναν, and see Mayser Gr. pp. 41, 204. An adj. ζμύρνινος is found in P Oxy XII. 1584.18 (ii/A.D.) παλλίον ζμύρνιν [ον.
